WE SHALL NEXT IN THAT BEAUTIFUL
LAND.
BY NJ. VICTOR srALEY.

Ere long we shall meet in that beautiful land
All those who have passed DER the tide,
Shall meet and shall know them, TO part never
more,
Safe anchored at last by their side.
o. the thought OF that meeting In bright realms
above,
So grand it seems almost a dreami
There we shall be free from life's sorrows and
And love shall reign ever supreme
CHORUS.
They are waiting for us on that evor greon
shore,
Are waiting to welcome us homo;
Soon DER the cold tide we shall reach their
loved sido,
No more through life's darkness to roam.
Our bark is now plowing the rough sea OF life,
While fiercely the mad breakers roar;
The rocks OF temptation, the whirlpool Of sin,
Are raging 'twixt us and the shore.
Yet wo will not despair, for now breaks on our
sight
beacon to guide us safe over the tide
Heavens port Is now almost at hand.
more,
Soon the waters be peaceful and still;
Soon we shall behold that fair land OF bright
flowers,
And quaff from its clear, sparkling rills.
Soon into the "Harbor of Refuge" we'll glide,
And our dangerous journey be DER,
And our dearest ones greet us with Kindness
and love.
As we land ON that beautiful shore.

and you were my sole heir. Last evening
came TO you with my heart full of bitter
ness. l meant to turn you out, and take
possession of my property. You softened
me, Wellington, ythe way that you received
me; you, and your wife, and that blessed
child. Still, was irresolute. Unable
to sleep, went out in the moonlight, and
visited all the dear old familiar places on
the farm; and L saw the graves of your
dead. Then was decided; my heart was
not hard enough to disturb you. / meant
to go in peace, and leave you unmolesied.'
Wellington Seymour was completely un-
manned. The tears flowed freely down his
face as held his brothers hands.
"You might have come back and lived
with us, he said.
"You don't know me, brother" said the
dying man. al ran away from you this
morning because / did not wish to injure
you. l am vicious being, dissolute past

and sat by him, too full for words.
"You know the chestnut tree, Wellyf'
said the tramp, opening his eyes. "Yes, of
course; we've dubbed it many time. Last
night saw it, anil thought that some

time has come sooner than / expected. I'm
not fit to sleep beside your dead. Bury me

"But, Winnie"

"Yes, Winnie-I will.
"Kiss me, Welly."
The strong man stopped his head; the
tears fell from his eyes; the arm Of the
poor tramp was thrown about his neck
and thus, even as in the years long gone
he had fallen to sleep in the embrace OF
his brother, did Winfield Seymour entei

him the fair, square truth. He won't
believe you, and in the end when he
finds he's swindled, he has nobody to
blame but himself" A story which we
once heard dog fancier tell illustrates
perfectly what the speaker meant Il
had some dogs to sell" the dog owner
remarked, "and among them was a
very good-looking fellow that wasn't
worth pin. He was q handsome brute
but he hadn't been trained, and you
couldn't train him. He had all the
points, but he was worthless. Well,
one day fellow wanted to buy dog,
and 1 told him to take two or three out
hunting with him and look them over
and pick out one: and he picked out
this very dog. He asked what the
price was, and said to him: Il gave
twenty dollars for that dog, but / tell
you honestly he is not worth anything
And told him just how it was. What
was the result? Why, he thought /
wanted to keep that dog and was lying
to keep him from buying him, and
have him he would. Two or three
weeks after he offered me the dog for
five dollars, and finally he took him up
country and left him because he was
not worth bringing back. Everybody
lies so nowadays, that man never
thinks you are telling the truth in q
htrade."
| Any business man would be likely
enough to be able to add instances OF q
similar nature. The truth is that trick
cry in trade has become so common as
almost to be regarded as legitimate ;
and the old proverb has been prac-
tically to add trade to love and war in
the category of things which excuse
any and all means of gaining an end.
Il retired from business" q retired
leather merchant told o friend, "be-
cause 1 must lose money, or make it
by means I wouldn't stoop to. Com
petition in business methods can meet
as long as it is honest, but when it
came to match in roguery, threw up
my hand"
The only possible reflection which
can give any satisfaction in this matter
is that the worse dishonesty becomes the
more nearly it approaches the point
where it defeats itself and reaction
begins. When it comes to be generally
felt that nobody can be relied upon, q
reputation for absolute honesty be-
comes so valuable commercially that
once more men find it worth while tc
cultivate habit of straightforward
dealing from business point of view,
even If they are not capable of being
moved thereto by moral principles
Business can only be conducted upor
the assumption of individual honesty
and hence when fraud becomes too evi.
dent the instinct of self-seeking comes
into play to force men back once NOR,
to cleaner methods and more honorabl,
dealing; and If the common prevalence
of corruption may be taken as q sign
we cannot be far from the point of re-
action to-day.-Boston Courier.

ten. In Australia, as here. the principal
loss OF quicksilver is caused by Touring. and
any device by which this can be prevented,
will be an immense saving in gold and silver
production. Mr.. Hegue is visiting the Unit
ed States, in the interest Of Australian min.
ing men and has gone on to Utah to continue
his investig atoms. He will call here again
on his return.

Valuable shorthorns for Nevada

We learn from the St. Paul Pioneer Press
Of recent date, that at H. F. Browns
Eighth Annual Sale of Shorthorn Cattle,
which took place the previous day, there
was a large attendance and heavy bidding
and the sale was probably the most success
full ever held in that city or State. Thirty
three head were sold, averaging SAT- per
head. The highest priced animals were
bought by W. J. Marsh, Of Fort Churchill,
this county, as follows: Wild Eyes Duchess
I2th. $I,4so; imported Duke Of Waterloo,
81, 500; Wild Eyes Of Browndale 9th, 81, 500.
These animals will be great acqu sitien to
the Shorthorn interests of Nevada, and great
credit is due to Mr.. Marsh for doing so much
to increase the value of the herds in this
State. 1t seems to be his ambition to have
the best bred herd OF shorthorns that can be
found, and we believe he now has the largest
and best selected stock Of thoroughbreds in
the State.

The Dredger Again TO the Front.

The new steam boiler for the Carson Riv-

Tuesday and was got into position as expe.
ditiously as possible. We were pfesent
when the FIRST experiment was made last
Thursday with the new dredge. and are
pleased to announce another success for the
company. This dredge is much larger than
the Whittier dredge and of an improved
pattern. and demonstrates its superiority by
the increased facility with which it handles
the material upon which tits used. DR.. Rae
has thus not only proven the great value Of
the deposits Of the Carson river, but also
the ability Of his new dredge to raise the
material.

The Ida Mime.

w. W. Byron, one Of the owners Of the
Ida mine in Garfield, returned from the mine
Wednesday evening. He reports the mine
looking we'll. There is q tunnel in 400 feet
which cuts the ledge at depth Of about $50
feet. Two drifts have been run on the ledge;
drift either way from the tunnel about 40
feet, and the ledge is found to be continuous
and good ore all the way. Ore is also found
in the headers, which shows that the ledge
still continues each way east and west. A
winze has been sunk IS feet and the ledge
is found to be strong all the way down,
showing as good ore, if not better, at the
bottom than is found at the tunnel level. An
upraise has been made of about 50 feet, and
from this upraise some very fine rock is be-
ing taken. The upraise is being made to
connect with tunnel above the lower one
to furnish air. The present outlook indi-
Gates that there 10 more ore In sight that can
be worked for six months. The ore in this
mine carries large per cent. Of gold, and
assays have been made giving returns OF ov-
err 5000, about $50 being gold. Ore is now
being taken out and shipment OF ten tons
will be made about the first Of next month.
1t is not known yet where the ore will be
shipped for working, it may come here or ii
may be worked at the Mount Diablo mill, al
Soda Springs, or at the Garfield Limited
Company's mill in Garfield.

Last Monday evening, while exercising his
mustang, E. ]. Ruby had runaway. The
horse is very handy with his hind feet, and
just after crossing the track on Main street
he began to kick, and getting one OF his legs
over the shaft could not get it back. He ran
around the vacant lot and finally into the
road where he tipped the buggy over and
was caught. Nobody hurt and only one
buggy shaft broken.
